So far, managed to avoid Covid thru diligent use of N95 when in public indoor spaces. Outdoors I don't bother to wear a mask. Breezes and sunshine seem to work, plus my dog is ona 7' leash and I generally don't get closer than that.

Well I am sorry to hear that it is serious. Speedy recovery wishes to you.
I love Middle Eastern fare. I received an Ottolenhghi cook book for Xmas this year. Can't wait to try some of the mezze dishes,

Good on you. Your country kept a lot of people alive!

Gonna have to buckle down and do some cutting on the table saw in the frigid cold, I'm afraid. Otherwise, from the weather reports, it looks like I'd have to wait at least a month before getting started on finishing my kitchen.
I think I've got my half-wall under the cabinet figured out. I still haven't figure out if I want to put some sort of legs under it that would be hidden by trim. It's going on top of the sheet vinyl and shouldn't be wedged in there, but at the same time I don't want it to float either since any heavy weight on the countertop offshoot is going to be supported by that wall. It's fine for putting regular countertop stuff on it... even a microwave, but when I was doing work there I kept leaning to hard on it and hearing small cracking noises because I forgot it didn't have good support anymore.
After that I can trim baseboard around the stove and finally get that back into place.
I'm only going to do the baseboard behind the fridge after putting the door casing up for now too. I still haven't figured out how I'm going to build the overlook to the basement yet and any trim I put up now would almost certainly be too long or too short. But at least I'll get the stuff done that I need to so I can have my appliances back where they've got to go.
I think I'm going to make some measurements to buy some of that hardboard I used for the sides of the cabinets that needed it as well as the bottom of the broken drawer. I think when I have my stove and fridge back in place, I want the wheels and legs resting on top of hardboard that is cut so you can't really notice it but wide enough to protect the floor.
This new flooring has padding underneath. Where the stove is on top of the boards my buddy's dad left with me to borrow is fine, but the wheels of the fridge have been making indentations in the top of the new flooring over the last day and a half for sure now.

Sounds YUMMY!
I've made some pretty good Middle Eastern dishes, my falafels are pretty good. Shawarma is on the list of "thing to try". Tried some Morrocan dishes, haven't quite got the hang of that yet, but working on it.
So many tasty traditions out there! It's fun to try them!

Just a lazy Sunday around me. Still haven't seen the snow that the weather people are talking about and that is a good thing

Lol I spelled his name wrong, so glad you found it. He is a bit of a sensation throughout the world currently. I love his recipes as so many tasty vegetarian ones.
Cooler today. I'm off to the beach with a friend for a morning swim, being the last public holiday until I'm back at work.

Very true and there was enough rain over night that a good portion of the snow is gone. Just need my umbrella today.
